Buying Or Selling a Commercial Property

We Work For You Because We Care About our Clients

Buying a Commercial Retail or Industrial Property

If you are preparing to purchase an existing Commercial Property, Retail Property or Industrial Building, you should consider obtaining early Legal Advice from a Commercial Lawyer. Initial interest in a property is generally associated with the location, quality of the tenant and return on investment. Whilst all of these factors are important, the Zoning of the property, Town Planning, Contamination, Structure of the Building, status of renovations, extensions and overall building works and G.S.T. can also influence your purchase decision.

Our Commercial Lawyers at A.L.F Lawyers can guide you and advise on the due-diligence process you should adopt to assess your proposed Purchase of a Commercial Property.

Early involvement of A Commercial Lawyer in the Acquisition of your Commercial, Retail and Industrial Property can help you in ensuring your Purchase Contract contains all the necessary clauses to protect your interests, outline the information required for due-diligence and ensure that you have sufficient time allowed within the contract to complete your due-diligence prior to the contract going unconditional.

Selling a Commercial Retail or Industrial Property

In preparation to Sell a Commercial Property be it a Retail Building and Office Block or an Industrial Building, it is fundamental to establish what will be included and excluded from the sale. Depending on the number of tenancies, and the size and usage of the building, often clarification is needed as to ownership of assets such as air conditioning, fixtures and fittings, solar panel etc.

A Commercial Solicitor, can guide and advise you in establishing what should be included in the sale and the value of the asset.

We encourage our Clients to prepare all the relevant documents involved in a due-diligence prior to going to contract. We also work with our clients to understand the level of confidentiality associated with the Property and relevant details of the Leases. Where necessary we prepare confidentiality agreements for perceptive buyers to sign to ensure that confidential information is protected.
